Speaker 1 (00:19):
Producer Kristen who Even though it's not, you know, super
hot outside, you don't have air conditioning, and whether we've
had lately makes it warm in a home, doesn't it.
That's right again, not oppressively hot, but enough to keep
a house really warm.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
And get your allergies going if you've got pollen in
the house.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yes, yeah, you got your air conditioning fixed?

Sixty eight? Your breath?
Speaker 5 (00:50):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I'm not shutting it off till September. Oh, so everybody
did everybody. They had to replace the whole entire central air, right,
so they had to replace the whole entire unit.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
So it was like the longest.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Week and then it break down like in October or September,
and you're like, well, doesn't it really matter falls coming whenever?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
We don't really need it exactly.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
And then here we are.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Well because in January we even brought it up. We
were like we should probably get figures out, and it
went from January to April in like two seconds. So
we were like, ah, wow, time to do this.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Was time to get that done. Yeah, well yeah, yeah,
well that's another conversation.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And now that we're on central AC talk, let's us
go to Unina because your house has no central AC
and of course we mentioned this a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
You are you like.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Stamped you We've already like put down.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
The money, is it? You have central AC coming?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We have well, we have many splits coming, so our
version of it, right, I don't know if that counts
the central ARA.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
But your house has never had it, so that's a
lot of work.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah. So so we always sleep with the windows over
and so it's actually been kind of toasty in there.
So yeah, so we're waiting on permits. Could our town speed.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Up, please shout out the town go ahead.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
South Orange, get on that, and then we'll uh, yeah,
they don't know my real name, so that's fine. So yeah,
so we're waiting on that. It'll be be fascinating.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Nina del Rio is not your real name. It's close though.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It sounds something like it where I can pick on
some folks without anybody knowing who I just picked on.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Good luck with.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I know what's coming, so I'll let you know when
that's going.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
All right, guess who's coming soon? Speaking of famous people,
Lisa Lisa is on the way. Producer Kristen told me
she's gonna arrive in the six o'clock hour, and you
just told me. She's like, she's like fifteen minutes away.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So she's coming in here early to talk about a
lot of things. There's a tour going on. She has
a biopic out, you know, all her big hits, New
York City classic right here, Yes, and she's saying this
one right here.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Listen. This song is a good one, absolutely roller skating.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
It's a very specific time, right, doesn't it feel like
mid eighties?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah? Oh, the iconic Lisa Lisa. No cult jam coming up,
Just Lisa Lisa. She will be here in twenty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Jam.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
They're in Brooklyn, I heark yeah, along with full force.
All right, coming back with three pretty cool things.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
More Cubby and Christine coming up. But first, if you're
a parrot, you totally know this.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
The average four year old child will ask over three
hundred questions a day, most of them one word.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Why light FM? Pretty cool?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It's three pretty cool things.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You need to know. I thought this was really cool.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know, your soap and water sessions might do more
than just scrub away dirt and bacteria. Research at University
of Michigan suggests that hand washing can actually wash away
worries about day to day decisions. So if you've had
a really bad day, maybe at six o'clock at night,
you just got home from work, just wash your hands
for fifteen minutes or something back That looks like a tick,
(04:01):
but it like it cleanses your hands and your mind.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I just want to get out of the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
You're fast, right right, totally take your time in there.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
This kind of is kind of in the same vein
about making yourself feel better. So next time you feel blue,
you got things on your mind, start stroking your sweater,
put on something nice and soft. Researchers say feel good
material releases seratonin, which can help these depression, you know,
and that just makes you feel better.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Wow, then wash your hands again.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah all right, yeah here you keep the happiness coming in.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
All right, Now, what do you have involving happiness, Kristen.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yes, from my fellow Disney lovers, this is actually kind
of a big deal. CEO Bob Iger announced yesterday they
are building a brand new theme park. Oh yes, it's
gonna be Disney's seventh one around the world.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's going to open in Abu Dhabi. Wow, fantastic.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
The park's gonna be built and managed by the Mural Group,
who will be fully designing you know, everything for the park.
But they're also going to involve the dis imagineers, so
Disney is going to have a hand in that. They
actually did that with Tokyo Disneyland. Yeah, they worked with
a partnering company. No dates yet, no name for the
park yet, but this is happening in big competition with Universal.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You know. It's like one hundred and thirty degrees there
in this summer, so you hope some of that stuff's
going to be Endorsedble it's going to be a domie
exactly right under a beautiful big tinker ball Bubble.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Disney has the money for it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, they'll figure it out. Yeah. Hey, look who it is, guys. Lisa,
Lisa's over there. Yes, he's in our green room. Hi, Lisa.

It just happened.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I mean, do you remember where you were when you
first heard that on the radio.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Oh, I was at Benaton. I was working at Benatton.
I remember my friend called me on the phone and
she said, turn the radio on. And I said, what
I'm going to get in trouble?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
She said, turn the radio.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
So I turned the radio on and it was playing.
I started jumping up and down the store, just jumping,
and I almost got fired.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I'm gonna say, did you quit? You know?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
The record label had to come and get me out
of there because I wouldn't leave.

Do you have the same feeling when you hit the
stage eighty five?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Yes, absolutely, still to this butterflies worse, worse. Oh my god,
I'm still so nervous right before.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I get out.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Do you like a hot venue like I heard a
Wretha Franklin used to love a hot venue? No, okay, okay,
oh no, I like it for her voice, but no, it.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Is very good.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
No, it's very good for the you know, for the
voice to have it really really warm. But I would die.
I would die because I'm a hot blooded Puerto Rican
and I can't have it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
No, you're on tour. You do all the hits, right,
we do them? Yes?
Speaker 5 (08:02):

I'm going to take you from the beginning to now.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah. Absolutely, a little trip with Lisa Lisa ex absolutely.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Is it true that you turned down the role for
coming to America as Lisa? Not you, Lisa Lisa, But
there was a character Lisa Eddie Murphy was, you know,
trying to chase down and marry Yeah. Man, what happened
with that?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Well, it was so long ago. I remember I was
giving the script I was given the offer to do
the part, and I took the script over to my
then husband, and you know, I was trying to be
a good wife. I was very young and.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Hindsight's twenty twenty, so don't get me wrong. Listen.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
He said no, and I said okay, and I want
to beat him, but it's okay. The girl who played Lisa,
she is fantastic, so God bless her.
Speaker 2 (08:54):

bio pic out I do, been on Lifetime and you
can catch it on Prime.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Right Yes, it's streaming on Prime right now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And this is pretty hard hitting here. I mean, you
tell some stuff we didn't know about.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Well, I think it was time to tell my story. Yeah,
and the forty year anniversary, if I wonder if I
take you home? What better time?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Was it tough telling the story, especially like a lot
of things we didn't know about the breast cancer early.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
It really was hard. It was difficult, but you know,
it was therapeutic. And I played my mom in the movie. Yeah,
to see my life through her eyes was everything. So
as soon as I went into to hair and makeup
and the eyebrows were put on, I was like yeah,
she's here, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And the lady that played.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
You, oh yeah, the young girl Jenness, she is amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I told you from the eighties for sure.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
She sure did. She did. She embodied that character. It
was shocked when she came out in the outfit and
the I wonder if I take you home outfit. I
was in tears. I started screaming. I was like, oh
my god, we're there.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And people can check this out again and anytime.

Everybody's always asking that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I love that well, Lisa, Lisa, I'm such a fan.
You know, I grew up on your music in the eighties.
In fact, you kind of inspired me a bit to
be in radio as a radio DJ. We love to
talk up intros. Okay, that's a DJ thing, you know.
We talk up until you sing. Yeah, called hitting the post.
And you have the greatest intros. And as I said,
except for Ken Feel the Beat, I can't talk that up.
(11:01):

hits and it's hit after hit. If you go see
Lisa Lisa on tour.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Yes, thank you so much. Come on and check us out.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Please, everybody more Covey and Christine and the great music
variety you expect next on Light at Them.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Is taking your husband's last name after marriage becoming an
outdated tradition? You know, I'm reading how couples getting married
later and women already being established in their careers with
their own last name. Does it make sense to change things?
Reading article? How about there's the hassle of all the
paperwork and ID changes, and even voting can be more
(11:36):
difficult if your married name doesn't match your registration blah
blah blah. So I don't even know if I know
in depth about your last name and if you kept
it in mine.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, I two reasons I didn't change. I did not
change my last name. So I've been married to my
husband for many years, and I think in the beginning
was persnickety. I didn't change it. But first of all,
the hassle of it, I just didn't. I'm kind of lazy.
I didn't want to deal with the paperwork. And now
it's even worse with all the real ideas and stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
And your husband was okay with that, not so much.
But the other you moved on, you passed.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Part of the other reason was that my dad only
had daughters, and I just, I don't know. I kind
of wanted to keep my dad's name, and my family
name is very specific, and I just felt like I
wanted to do that and my family, like a lot
of in the US people do that, but not in
every culture, and in my family's background, women keep their
(12:29):
last name.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Did you think about hyphenating?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I use that sometimes, right, yeah, but not all the time.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
All right, Well, look you gave a clear answer.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, I have a reason.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You have a reason, yeah, and he's cool with it.
It wasn't very good at the beginning. Have you've been
married how long now, Nina, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Twenty years so it's all right, well, yeah, she goes,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Now I turned you know what's going well, I don't
producer Kristen, Yes, all right, so I kind of know
your story.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, but tell it again. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So professionally I use my maid name just because when
I started in the industry here, that's kind of how
everyone knew me. So I wanted to keep it. But
legally I did change my name, yes, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And everybody's happy with it.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Everybody's happy with it.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
It took a while, so I we got married twenty
twenty January of twenty twenty, so everything shut down after that.
So it took a while for me to legally change
my name because we just couldn't do it. So it's
more of like a recent thing within the last like
two years.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Does your husband have any thoughts about you using your
maiden name professionally.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
No, he totally understands. Oh, he understands that. Yeah, and
my wife took my last name.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
What if she didn't Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
You know, look, if you love somebody, you'd be cool
with it. Yeah, so whatever makes her happy.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah, if you have kids, though, I think also it'd
be weird if you had a different last name than
your kids.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Right, yeah, give us your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Four four three six three. And actually, do you know
anybody where the husband took the woman's last name?
Speaker 7 (13:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Interesting, I know that happened sometimes. I don't know anybody personally,
but I've heard it happen.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
My brother's law who are two gay men, made a
hyphenated name so their kids have like a whole different name.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Okay, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
They created a new thing.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah. Yeah, I hit us up on text if you can.
Four four three six three.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
Cobby and Christine in the morning. More coming up.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
One.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
I was six point seven light. I found car is
a little loving my life. It's Cobby and Christine's crazy
first date.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
All right, we have Aiden on the phone. Aiden, you're calling.
You went on a crazy first date. When did this happen?
And how did you meet this person?
Speaker 7 (14:28):
So this was a few years ago before I was
dating my current girlfriend. I was living in New York
City and she had reached out to me on believe
it was bumble, and you know, she was like, hey,
I'm coming into town, and I'm like, yeah, let's go
out and have her drink, you know, cause it was
kind of late at this point. I happened to meet
up the street where the bar was. We were having
(14:50):
genuine laughs. We're sitting down at a table at this point,
and our drinks came to you know, we finished our drinks,
so I say, hey, do you want another one?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
She's like yeah, definitely.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Conversation has been great. It was all about like energy talk,
you know, like putting the right energy into things and
getting it out and la la la la la. I
come back from getting the drink and the energy the
tone had completely done one hundred and eighty degree change.
I am wondering like what did I say or do?
Because I wasn't gone for long, I noticed it and
(15:20):
I said, well, they're playing music up front. Do you
want to go dance? She's like yeah, cool, So we
start dancing. Some guy comes up to me in a
drunken stupid and goes, oh, hey, you got any cigarettes,
and I'm like nah, man, sorry. Well he stumbles out
towards the entrance, and about thirty seconds later he comes
back up to me and says, hey, man, you got
any cigarettes? And I'm like, nah, dude, I just told
(15:42):
you I don't have any cigarettes. Well, the woman that
I had met sees this happen and she's like, hey man,
you're blocking me. I'm like, what do you mean. She's like, well,
that guy, he's kind of cute. I'm like, what am
I doing here?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Right?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Right talking?
Speaker 7 (15:59):
She says to me right after this, She's like, I
gotta be honest with you. I feel you're kind of
more like my brother.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Right.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
It's so awkward.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
What did you say to her?
Speaker 7 (16:08):
I made sure that I heard her correctly, because the
bar was real loud. I said, wait, you mean to
tell me that I'm blocking you? And she goes, yeah,
you are. I chugged the rest of the half of
my drink left and I just walked out without saying
a word to her.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
For you, but you did the right thing.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I'm glad you kind of bailed some people I think
might try to salvage it, and I'm kind of glad
you what with your instincts and just took off.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh I know better than that. I was.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
She was gone and I wasn't going to save her.

We sure did.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Did you read the story about Target? A lot of
Targets are going to stop self checkout sadly because of
shop clipping. Yes, people not scanning everything.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
That's probably true for a lot of places self checkout. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
No, not that I do it, But some people are
whistling along like, oh I'm not I'm playing by the role.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Yeah, I've heard that that's been a problem with self checkout.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Unfortunately,
Want to six boy seven m Covey needed a rio
(00:02):
in for the vacationing Christy Naggy producer Christen's here.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
How are y'all feeling doing good? All right?
Speaker 3 (00:08):
All right, yeah, just all right, solid.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Solid as a rock, great song by.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
The way, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You know who's very happy today?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Producer Kristen who Even though it's not, you know, super
hot outside, you don't have air conditioning, and whether we've
had lately makes it warm in a home, doesn't it.
That's right again, not oppressively hot, but enough to keep
a house really warm.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
And get your allergies going if you've got pollen in
the house.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Yes, yeah, you got your air conditioning fixed?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Yes, thank you, because wow, am I never taking that
for granted? Everything?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
The windows are closed?
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Goodness?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
And what's the temperature in the house now? Sixty eight? Christmas?
Sixty eight? Your breath?
Speaker 5 (00:50):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I'm not shutting it off till September. Oh, so everybody
did everybody. They had to replace the whole entire central air, right,
so they had to replace the whole entire unit.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
So it was like the longest.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Week and then it break down like in October or September,
and you're like, well, doesn't it really matter falls coming whenever?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
We don't really need it exactly.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
And then here we are.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Well because in January we even brought it up. We
were like we should probably get figures out, and it
went from January to April in like two seconds. So
we were like, ah, wow, time to do this.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Was time to get that done. Yeah, well yeah, yeah,
well that's another conversation.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And now that we're on central AC talk, let's us
go to Unina because your house has no central AC
and of course we mentioned this a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
You are you like.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Stamped you We've already like put down.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
The money, is it? You have central AC coming?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
We have well, we have many splits coming, so our
version of it, right, I don't know if that counts
the central ARA.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
But your house has never had it, so that's a
lot of work.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah. So so we always sleep with the windows over
and so it's actually been kind of toasty in there.
So yeah, so we're waiting on permits. Could our town speed.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Up, please shout out the town go ahead.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
South Orange, get on that, and then we'll uh, yeah,
they don't know my real name, so that's fine. So yeah,
so we're waiting on that. It'll be be fascinating.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Nina del Rio is not your real name. It's close though.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
It sounds something like it where I can pick on
some folks without anybody knowing who I just picked on.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Good luck with.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I know what's coming, so I'll let you know when
that's going.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
All right, guess who's coming soon? Speaking of famous people,
Lisa Lisa is on the way. Producer Kristen told me
she's gonna arrive in the six o'clock hour, and you
just told me. She's like, she's like fifteen minutes away.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
So she's coming in here early to talk about a
lot of things. There's a tour going on. She has
a biopic out, you know, all her big hits, New
York City classic right here, Yes, and she's saying this
one right here.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Listen. This song is a good one, absolutely roller skating.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
It's a very specific time, right, doesn't it feel like
mid eighties?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah? Oh, the iconic Lisa Lisa. No cult jam coming up,
Just Lisa Lisa. She will be here in twenty five minutes.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Jam.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
They're in Brooklyn, I heark yeah, along with full force.
All right, coming back with three pretty cool things.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
More Cubby and Christine coming up. But first, if you're
a parrot, you totally know this.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
The average four year old child will ask over three
hundred questions a day, most of them one word.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Why light FM? Pretty cool?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It's three pretty cool things.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
You need to know. I thought this was really cool.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know, your soap and water sessions might do more
than just scrub away dirt and bacteria. Research at University
of Michigan suggests that hand washing can actually wash away
worries about day to day decisions. So if you've had
a really bad day, maybe at six o'clock at night,
you just got home from work, just wash your hands
for fifteen minutes or something back That looks like a tick,
(04:01):
but it like it cleanses your hands and your mind.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I just want to get out of the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
You're fast, right right, totally take your time in there.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
This kind of is kind of in the same vein
about making yourself feel better. So next time you feel blue,
you got things on your mind, start stroking your sweater,
put on something nice and soft. Researchers say feel good
material releases seratonin, which can help these depression, you know,
and that just makes you feel better.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Wow, then wash your hands again.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah all right, yeah here you keep the happiness coming in.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
All right, Now, what do you have involving happiness, Kristen.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yes, from my fellow Disney lovers, this is actually kind
of a big deal. CEO Bob Iger announced yesterday they
are building a brand new theme park. Oh yes, it's
gonna be Disney's seventh one around the world.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's going to open in Abu Dhabi. Wow, fantastic.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
The park's gonna be built and managed by the Mural Group,
who will be fully designing you know, everything for the park.
But they're also going to involve the dis imagineers, so
Disney is going to have a hand in that. They
actually did that with Tokyo Disneyland. Yeah, they worked with
a partnering company. No dates yet, no name for the
park yet, but this is happening in big competition with Universal.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
You know. It's like one hundred and thirty degrees there
in this summer, so you hope some of that stuff's
going to be Endorsedble it's going to be a domie
exactly right under a beautiful big tinker ball Bubble.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Disney has the money for it.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, they'll figure it out. Yeah. Hey, look who it is, guys. Lisa,
Lisa's over there. Yes, he's in our green room. Hi, Lisa.
We're going to take a short break.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
We're going to come back right after this commercial break

Speaker 5 (06:30):
It just happened.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I mean, do you remember where you were when you
first heard that on the radio.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Oh, I was at Benaton. I was working at Benatton.
I remember my friend called me on the phone and
she said, turn the radio on. And I said, what
I'm going to get in trouble?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
She said, turn the radio.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
So I turned the radio on and it was playing.
I started jumping up and down the store, just jumping,
and I almost got fired.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I'm gonna say, did you quit? You know?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
The record label had to come and get me out
of there because I wouldn't leave.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Right right right unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Now, currently, you're on tour as we speak, Yes, and
you're around the area often including near Philly.

I take you home tour and we're gonna have Montel Jordan,
We're gonna have ex Fose, color Me, Bad Rock, Bass,
and so many more every city we hit. That's going
to be so many different people joining us on that stage.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Do you have the same feeling when you hit the
stage eighty five?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Yes, absolutely, still to this butterflies worse, worse. Oh my god,
I'm still so nervous right before.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I get out.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Do you like a hot venue like I heard a
Wretha Franklin used to love a hot venue? No, okay, okay,
oh no, I like it for her voice, but no, it.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Is very good.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
No, it's very good for the you know, for the
voice to have it really really warm. But I would die.
I would die because I'm a hot blooded Puerto Rican
and I can't have it.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
No, you're on tour. You do all the hits, right,
we do them? Yes?
Speaker 5 (08:02):

I'm going to take you from the beginning to now.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah. Absolutely, a little trip with Lisa Lisa ex absolutely.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Is it true that you turned down the role for
coming to America as Lisa? Not you, Lisa Lisa, But
there was a character Lisa Eddie Murphy was, you know,
trying to chase down and marry Yeah. Man, what happened
with that?
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Well, it was so long ago. I remember I was
giving the script I was given the offer to do
the part, and I took the script over to my
then husband, and you know, I was trying to be
a good wife. I was very young and.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Hindsight's twenty twenty, so don't get me wrong. Listen.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
He said no, and I said okay, and I want
to beat him, but it's okay. The girl who played Lisa,
she is fantastic, so God bless her.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
So but hey, speaking of film, you do have a
bio pic out I do, been on Lifetime and you
can catch it on Prime.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Right Yes, it's streaming on Prime right now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
And this is pretty hard hitting here. I mean, you
tell some stuff we didn't know about.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Well, I think it was time to tell my story. Yeah,
and the forty year anniversary, if I wonder if I
take you home? What better time?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Was it tough telling the story, especially like a lot
of things we didn't know about the breast cancer early.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
It really was hard. It was difficult, but you know,
it was therapeutic. And I played my mom in the movie. Yeah,
to see my life through her eyes was everything. So
as soon as I went into to hair and makeup
and the eyebrows were put on, I was like yeah,
she's here, let's do this.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And the lady that played.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
You, oh yeah, the young girl Jenness, she is amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I told you from the eighties for sure.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
She sure did. She did. She embodied that character. It
was shocked when she came out in the outfit and
the I wonder if I take you home outfit. I
was in tears. I started screaming. I was like, oh
my god, we're there.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And people can check this out again and anytime.

Everybody's always asking that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I love that well, Lisa, Lisa, I'm such a fan.
You know, I grew up on your music in the eighties.
In fact, you kind of inspired me a bit to
be in radio as a radio DJ. We love to
talk up intros. Okay, that's a DJ thing, you know.
We talk up until you sing. Yeah, called hitting the post.
And you have the greatest intros. And as I said,
except for Ken Feel the Beat, I can't talk that up.
(11:01):

hits and it's hit after hit. If you go see
Lisa Lisa on tour.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Yes, thank you so much. Come on and check us out.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Please, everybody more Covey and Christine and the great music
variety you expect next on Light at Them.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Is taking your husband's last name after marriage becoming an
outdated tradition? You know, I'm reading how couples getting married
later and women already being established in their careers with
their own last name. Does it make sense to change things?
Reading article? How about there's the hassle of all the
paperwork and ID changes, and even voting can be more
(11:36):
difficult if your married name doesn't match your registration blah
blah blah. So I don't even know if I know
in depth about your last name and if you kept
it in mine.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, I two reasons I didn't change. I did not
change my last name. So I've been married to my
husband for many years, and I think in the beginning
was persnickety. I didn't change it. But first of all,
the hassle of it, I just didn't. I'm kind of lazy.
I didn't want to deal with the paperwork. And now
it's even worse with all the real ideas and stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
And your husband was okay with that, not so much.
But the other you moved on, you passed.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Part of the other reason was that my dad only
had daughters, and I just, I don't know. I kind
of wanted to keep my dad's name, and my family
name is very specific, and I just felt like I
wanted to do that and my family, like a lot
of in the US people do that, but not in
every culture, and in my family's background, women keep their
(12:29):
last name.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Did you think about hyphenating?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I use that sometimes, right, yeah, but not all the time.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
All right, Well, look you gave a clear answer.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yeah, I have a reason.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You have a reason, yeah, and he's cool with it.
It wasn't very good at the beginning. Have you've been
married how long now, Nina, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Twenty years so it's all right, well, yeah, she goes,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Now I turned you know what's going well, I don't
producer Kristen, Yes, all right, so I kind of know
your story.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, but tell it again. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
So professionally I use my maid name just because when
I started in the industry here, that's kind of how
everyone knew me. So I wanted to keep it. But
legally I did change my name, yes, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And everybody's happy with it.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Everybody's happy with it.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
It took a while, so I we got married twenty
twenty January of twenty twenty, so everything shut down after that.
So it took a while for me to legally change
my name because we just couldn't do it. So it's
more of like a recent thing within the last like
two years.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Does your husband have any thoughts about you using your
maiden name professionally.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
No, he totally understands. Oh, he understands that. Yeah, and
my wife took my last name.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
What if she didn't Uh.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
You know, look, if you love somebody, you'd be cool
with it. Yeah, so whatever makes her happy.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah, if you have kids, though, I think also it'd
be weird if you had a different last name than
your kids.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Right, yeah, give us your thoughts.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Four four three six three. And actually, do you know
anybody where the husband took the woman's last name?
Speaker 7 (13:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Interesting, I know that happened sometimes. I don't know anybody personally,
but I've heard it happen.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
My brother's law who are two gay men, made a
hyphenated name so their kids have like a whole different name.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Okay, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
They created a new thing.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Yeah. Yeah, I hit us up on text if you can.
Four four three six three.
Speaker 6 (14:11):
Cobby and Christine in the morning. More coming up.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
One.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
I was six point seven light. I found car is
a little loving my life. It's Cobby and Christine's crazy
first date.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
All right, we have Aiden on the phone. Aiden, you're calling.
You went on a crazy first date. When did this happen?
And how did you meet this person?
Speaker 7 (14:28):
So this was a few years ago before I was
dating my current girlfriend. I was living in New York
City and she had reached out to me on believe
it was bumble, and you know, she was like, hey,
I'm coming into town, and I'm like, yeah, let's go
out and have her drink, you know, cause it was
kind of late at this point. I happened to meet
up the street where the bar was. We were having
(14:50):
genuine laughs. We're sitting down at a table at this point,
and our drinks came to you know, we finished our drinks,
so I say, hey, do you want another one?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
She's like yeah, definitely.
Speaker 7 (15:00):
Conversation has been great. It was all about like energy talk,
you know, like putting the right energy into things and
getting it out and la la la la la. I
come back from getting the drink and the energy the
tone had completely done one hundred and eighty degree change.
I am wondering like what did I say or do?
Because I wasn't gone for long, I noticed it and
(15:20):
I said, well, they're playing music up front. Do you
want to go dance? She's like yeah, cool, So we
start dancing. Some guy comes up to me in a
drunken stupid and goes, oh, hey, you got any cigarettes,
and I'm like nah, man, sorry. Well he stumbles out
towards the entrance, and about thirty seconds later he comes
back up to me and says, hey, man, you got
any cigarettes? And I'm like, nah, dude, I just told
(15:42):
you I don't have any cigarettes. Well, the woman that
I had met sees this happen and she's like, hey man,
you're blocking me. I'm like, what do you mean. She's like, well,
that guy, he's kind of cute. I'm like, what am
I doing here?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Right?
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Right talking?
Speaker 7 (15:59):
She says to me right after this, She's like, I
gotta be honest with you. I feel you're kind of
more like my brother.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Right.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
It's so awkward.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
What did you say to her?
Speaker 7 (16:08):
I made sure that I heard her correctly, because the
bar was real loud. I said, wait, you mean to
tell me that I'm blocking you? And she goes, yeah,
you are. I chugged the rest of the half of
my drink left and I just walked out without saying
a word to her.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
For you, but you did the right thing.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I'm glad you kind of bailed some people I think
might try to salvage it, and I'm kind of glad
you what with your instincts and just took off.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Oh I know better than that. I was.
Speaker 7 (16:34):
She was gone and I wasn't going to save her.

dude looking for cigarettes.
